I have never been legitimatley hurt by a film before. Do not watch this.
The story, guy turns into a purple big dude that has like two animations tops. One a really stupid stroll and another an bending down and looking one. They do get the relationship of the guy, his girl and the general kind of right, but that is the last compliment it gets. A dude in a castle is firing rockets, the Bulk is running wild and soon the Bulk is sent in to defeat the evil guy in the castle. I made that sound way better than it is by the way.
The whole thing is people moving unnaturally in a prerendered background world. It is like watching some strange Sega CD video game, but that is not fair to the Sega CD games as they never just had what is essentially stock footage throughout the game. The actors are of course, horrible, the jokes are not good because you cannot do comedy with bad actors and the lead guy has the look of a guy who is in constant need of taking a dump...
So, I would suggest staying away from this one. I only saw it because I watch rifftrax and I though it made for a disappointing episode as this thing is just too bad. I have seen a lot of bad films too, so I do not want to say this one takes the top spot, but it is definitely in the top five!
There is not one single person from this "film" that should ever work in films again.
Take a bunch of stock footage and animation that couldn't have been made after 1999 and try to build a movie around it using "actors" who are really glorified baristas of waiters and should never be called actors.
The best actor in the film in the bulk and he's laughably badly done.
Everything is done in front of a green screen with tiny sound, badly filmed and badly acted. The director kept blaming a micro-budget but you can find so much better stuff on your average youtube channel.
Speaking of Youtube, check out this review of the "movie". It will give you an even better idea how bad this stinker is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UE7I5mPHsSU
The Amazing Bulk has to be down there with the cheapest-looking movies ever, with the (over)use of green screen looking so painfully fake. It's drably shot and looks like it was edited on a near-broken bacon-slicer(especially in the "running", in speech marks but I am not sure what it was, scenes), while the cartoony special effects look a minimum of 25 years out of date. The Monster not only looks terrible(an external review likened it to the "love child of Tor and Barney the Dinosaur" and that is a perfect summation) but is not threatening or entertaining in the slightest, it barely does anything even. The music is over-bearing and more often than not doesn't fit at all and often an excuse to show how many pre-existing tunes you can find in one movie, which are nearly all out-of-place.
It's an incredibly badly written movie too and that's being kind. The dialogue is so childish and awkward that it'd make the toes curl, if a student submitted this script as a writing assignment they would fail, and not narrowly, we're talking catastrophically. The story is stupid, unoriginal and dull and nothing else with a good number of random and irrelevant scenes, there is nothing thrilling, suspenseful or entertaining here(any fun anyone might get out of the movie would be unintentional). The stereotypical characters are obnoxious and one-note with very little personality injected in them. There is a distinct lack of effort and care in the direction and as for the awfulness of the acting, where to begin? It's almost non-existent, mannequins show more emotion and that is not a joke. With exception of the incongruously and annoyingly over-the-top General who belongs somewhere else altogether.
Overall, an abomination in every area with nothing even halfway decent about it. 0/10 Bethany Cox

- GoofsThe army general wears the uniform of a staff sergeant. Later the helicopter pilot wears the same uniform, but US Army helicopter pilots are officers.

General Darwin: You let dust build up, and before you know it, you've got an army of dust bunnies plotting to take over. Beautiful flowers, where did you get those from? Our garden?
